Why Can't I Love You?

Yugi sat in his room alone, rolling a pencil while thinking about his long time crush, Yami. Yes that's right; Yugi Mutou fell in love with his darker half. Now Hikaris aren't supposed to fall for their Yamis, but Yugi couldn't help himself. The little boy loved absolutely everything about Yami, the way he spoke to his enemies, how his eyes were so hypnotic, how Yami giggled like a little girl, and the best thing about the ancient pharaoh was how his smile shined like a thousand suns. Yami right now, was on a date with the whore, Tea Gardener. Tea broke with her previous boyfriend to have Yami, and sadly Yami didn't know of her make-up and break up reputation. The woman didn't want anything from Yami except to fuck him, she told Yugi herself.

Yugi was no longer Tea's friend, after battle city, Yugi wanted to break their friendship together, for she wanted to steal Yugi's cards and claim them as her own. Yugi caught her in his room, flipping the entire place around to find the dueling deck. What she didn't know, was that Yugi always took his deck everywhere he went. When Yugi asked her why she was in his room and turned it into a disaster zone. Tea reveled why she did do it. The tri-colored haired boy was furious with her and was going to end their high school friendship; however she insisted to give her one more chance. Yugi did give her one more chance and she broke it once she told Yugi that she liked Yami. What made it sadder was that two days ago, Yami told Yugi that he sort of liked Tea. Yugi told his other half that Tea liked him too, but he didn't tell him why Tea liked him. He decided that Yami might like it better if he found out himself.

Yugi actually thought he might have a chance with Yami, but he was sadly mistaken. This put the innocent teen into a great depression. However, he did smile for everyone to mask the growing sadness inside him.

The small boy looked at the clock and it read 6:00 P.M. Yami was going to come home soon from his little 'date' soon, so Yugi thought he should start cooking dinner for the soon to come hungry Yami. The teen left the lonely darkness of his room and trudged to the kitchen. He had to make two of everything. His grandpa died last year and Yugi didn't really care because he was expecting him to die soon so that he and Yami could live together.

Now Yugi was going to prepare two chocolate milkshakes, Bruschetta, and finally Herbed Chicken and Dumplings. These were all of Yami's favorite dinner meals and Yugi wanted to make sure his crush had the happiest day of his life.

One hour and thirty minutes have passed and at 7:30 P.M Yami finally arrived home. "Hello Yugi!" he greeted as he walked through the door.

"Hi Yami, you're home late. How did your date go?" Yugi asked politely. However, when he did ask, it left a sour taste in his mouth.

Yami's eyes had a dull tone in them when Yugi asked the question. "Oh our date was wonderful! First we went to the mall to get Tea new clothing. After that we went to the park with our friends! Oh it was just splendid!" But that was all lie. Really, Yami has hated every single minute he shared with Tea. All he did was look at her in discuss as she flirted with other guys.

Tea went to the park with Yami and all his friends? Why wasn't he with them? "Well it sounds like you had fun," Yugi managed to respond without having any bitterness in his voice.

"Yes we did have fun," Yami lied. "We went to the park, arcade, gym, and pool," Yami recalled.

So the went to all those places without him? Sounds like something Tea would do. "If you went to the pool, you better take a shower while I finish up making dinner," Yugi suggested.

"Alright, I think I will do that," Yami decided. He left the kitchen and went to go to the bathroom and take Yugi's suggestion. As soon as Yami left, Yugi clutched the pot that held the Herbed Chicken and Dumplings in anger.

Thirty minutes passed by and Yugi finished making dinner and he was about to pour the chocolate milkshakes into their cups, until Yami walked into the room. His hair was still wet, and had a towel wrapped around his waist. Yami's sudden appearance was distracting Yugi from pouring the milkshakes. "Yami, why are you here? You're still dripping wet and half naked," Yugi pointed out. However he felt his face heat up at the sight of Yami, but luckily steam from the ready chicken and dumplings covered his face.

"I just wanted to make sure you were alright," Yami worried.

Yugi was very puzzled. "Why would you want to do that?"

"Well, I did leave you here for four hours and you seem to be stressed out lately," Yami revealed. Yugi's face darkened when Yami mentioned him being alone for a while, but covered it up quickly with an innocent smile.

"Oh Yami, stop worrying so much for nothing, I'm completely fine," Yugi lied. "Now go dry off and get dressed," he insisted.

"Your right, I just have a lot on my mind, like how to make it up to you." With that he walked off to his room.

When Yami left Yugi in the kitchen again, he slid down to floor and sighed. 'I don't understand why he is trying so hard to make it up to me? Tea is his girlfriend. Well I still have to support him no matter what!' Yugi thought. He got back to his feet a started to prepare their dinner with more motivation and motivation.

Yugi set everything down on the dining table and made sure was perfect to make Yami. He wiped his forehead to make sure there was no sweat. At that very moment Yami came down stairs and looked at the table of food. He widened eyes when he realized that everything on it was all his favorites. 'Yugi is so thoughtful,' Yami thought. He started to feel his heart pound. He knew why his heart was pounding.

During the moments he left Yugi, Yami had an inner conversation with himself... 'Why do I suddenly hate Tea? I mean she can be a nice friend and all, but when it comes to dating she isn't exactly my type. But how is it that whenever I'm with Yugi I feel so different? What are these feelings that I have for him? Is this love?' He thought about this for a minute. 'Well I do like his angelic features and the way he speaks and the way he does everything.' Yami started blushing at the things that Yugi does. 'Holy Ra, I love Yugi.'

"Yugi, this is the most thoughtful thing anyone has ever done for me," Yami praised Yugi.

Yugi's face turned into a bright pink. "Oh, it's nothing really." Yami moved closer to Yugi until he was only centimeters away from his body. Yugi's heart raced and was doing somersaults. Yami suddenly embraced Yugi in a hug. The two boy's face turned into different shades of red. Yugi hugged Yami back. The two let go of each other and took a seat at the dining table.

"Go ahead and dig in. While you're doing that, tell me how your day went. I want to know everything that happened today," Yugi announced.

"Well it went sort of like this…"

Twenty minutes after...

As Yami was finishing his story, Yugi finished his dinner.

"…And then Tea and I hugged," Yami finished his story with. When Yugi heard that, he felt like his heart it had been stabbed and stomped on.

"Well that great!" Yugi congratulated. He put his dishes in the sink and told the pharaoh, "I'm going to sleep now. I'm pretty tired." Yugi pretended to yawn so that Yami could believe him, and he did. The broken hearted boy ran up to his room and shut the door. Yugi could not believe that Yami and Tea have gone that far already. While he thought about this, he went to his bed and cried into his pillow.

Meanwhile, Yami was pondering why Yugi was in a rush to go to sleep. Skeptical, he went to go check on Yugi. When he reached his door, rain started to poor outside. Yami could hear muffled cries coming from the room. Yami opened the door quietly and let himself in. The light teen set himself down next to Yugi and started to stroke his back.

"Yugi why are you crying?" the darker half asked. Yugi didn't answer the question so the pharaoh asked again in a sterner tone, "Yugi, why are you crying?"

"I c-can't tell you," the crying teen stuttered. He can't possibly confess to Yami that he loves him.

"Yugi, you can tell me anything. I will not judge you for your feelings," Yami reassured.

Yugi took a deep breath and looked into Yami's eyes. "Yami," he started. "I-I l-l-o-v-e you," he finally admitted. "You probably hate me now, don't you?" Yugi started to feel tears weld up in his eyes.

Yami started chuckling.

Yugi was now very confused. "Yami what's so funny?"
"Yugi I can never hate you," he said in between laughs. "And why didn't you tell me sooner that you loved me?"
"You don't hate me?" Yugi asked to make sure that he wasn't delusional.

"No, of course I don't!" He moved closer to Yugi's face. "In fact, I think I might even love you."
Yugi was taken aback by Yami's statement. He loved him too? "What about Tea?" Yugi asked.

"Oh, her, she was probably the worst thing that has ever happened to me." He smiled when he said that.

Yami moved closer to Yugi until they could feel each other's breaths.

"Yugi, kiss your love." Yugi filled in the gap between them with his lips. Their mouths seemed to fit together so perfectly. Yami licked Yugi's bottom lip, asking for entrance. Yugi happily opened his mouth and Yami explored every inch of his light's mouth. Yami laid Yugi down onto the bed and had the best time of his life with him.

Next day…

Yugi and Yami were at school having lunch under a cherry blossom tree. Yugi leaned his head onto Yami's shoulder and smiled when Yami didn't move away but instead scratch his head.

"Hey Yugi what do you think you're doing?!" Tea screamed, appearing out of nowhere.

Yami stood up. "Tea," he said very seriously.

"Yes sweet cakes?" she asked while fluttering her eyes.

"I hate you and I'm breaking up with you," he concluded. Yami grabbed Yugi and ran away from Tea, who was bashing and kicking at the tree. But Yami had to carry Yugi because he was limping to slow.

Two years later…

"Aibou," Yami called.

"Yes Yami?" Yugi asked while running down a hill. Currently, they were at the private park that Kaiba owned with all of their real friends. All of them gathered around the two lovers. "What do you need Yami?" he asked, getting really nervous.

The great pharaoh got down on one knee and pulled out a ring. "Yugi, from the day I've always loved you," Yami started. "You are my entire world and I want to spend every waking moment with you. Yugi, will you marry me?" Yami proposed.

Yugi was crying tears of joy. "Yes, I will marry you," the king of games sniffled. Yami got up and kissed his new fiancé. Yugi wrapped his arms around Yami and waited until the day they were to get married.

So I worked on this story all night and I'm proud of how it turned out. Although the ending is a little sappy to me, but hey, that's my opinion. I hope you enjoyed it. The song I used is Taylor Swift's song Invisible. I Don't own the song or any of the characters I used in the story. However, I recently discovered that you can't have song lyrics in your stories. So I will take them down and it is your responsibility to go look at her lyrics yourself or listen to the song while reading this. Have a super special awesome day!
